chickencam Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 We had quite a pleasant day yesterday after a disapointing day on Saturday. It was raining when I got up at 7am, we have had a brief dry spell for the last hour or so, but it is looking very threatening again now. Fortunately my brood don't break up until later this week, so hopefully the weather will be ok at leat at the end of their fortnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Cloudy and grey yesterday - can't remember if there was any sun, but at least it stayed dry. Got a bit damp after dark. Today, just the odd spit and quite damp and dull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Dull and damp here this morning. They said on the wireless this morning that we're to expect snow from Tuesday night for 2 days (very specific about that!) could come as far south as Birmingham. Rest of the country to expect heavy rain and gales DEEP JOY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickencam Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I went out at 1pm to pick up ED from school, she finished early because it is the last day of term for her, it wasn't raining when she called me to see where I was parked but by the time she came out it was bucketing down. She had too much stuff to carry to use her brolly so she got soaked Had to have the wipers on fly off setting on the way back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Crumbs! We got off lightly here. Still have the paddy field at the bottom of the garden though. Mostly rain, but this afternoon was very bright and sunny - then we had thunder and lightening along with a teeny bit of hail. Erin was driving home from Basingstoke and had lots of hail - raced it home, but we were on the edge of it. Later on, sun out again, buzzards flying high and lots of anvil clouds all around. Lovely big moon at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chickendoodle Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Had the most horrendous hailstorm last night. Woke up at around 1am to thunder, lightning, very strong winds and a violent hailstorm. Garden was completely white. Car alarms goung off everywhere! This morning very windy, cold and wet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Bizarre temp changes yesterday; 12.6deg at noon, 6.8deg at 6pm and a biting wind. Just 2deg this morning when I got up and light sleet. Very windy too. A friend is supposed to be travelling to Mull on Saturday for a week's holiday; do we have anyone up there who can give a weather report?

ali-s Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Awful, awful weather up here. Gale force winds with horizontal blizzards of snow,hail, rain and sleet. Snow settled overnight but seems to be melting now. Electricity off for a while yesterday evening. No TV, radio signal or internet when I got up this morning, the internet has just returned not sure about the TV or radio. I am having a cookathon today so have pans bubbling away on the hob, oven and slowcooker on, the power keeps dipping and the lights are flashing on and off Outside temperature is 0c but with the wind it feels a lot colder.
